This year’s Android statue is signed by the dev team

Another year, another statue, but this one has special value for the folks that build Android.

What you need to know

  • This year’s Android statue has been unveiled on Google’s campus in Mountain View.
  • The newly reshaded bugdroid head appears in the 0 of the 10, but the rest of the statue is white.
  • The statue is signed by Googlers who worked on the Android 10 release.

Statues at Mountain View are a tradition — though one that had grown stale in recent years — and the statue for this year is a distinct departure without a dessert name to draw on. This year’s statue is a 10 with a bugdroid in the zero, with the letters matte white and the Android head a newer, paler green.

The simple style of the statue may seem boring at first, but the white statue is actually a canvas for all the people who worked on Android 10 to sign their names and take pride in the finished product. I dig it, it’s like a yearbook that will sit on Google’s campus for all to see, though I do wonder how they’ll keep other Googlers (or visitors) from sneaking their own signatures onto the piece.

The piece was unveiled today on Google’s Mountain View campus with little fanfare, and I look forward to seeing how the signatures on it grow as more members of the Android Developers team make time to go sign.
